ABOUT THIS WINE
Direct pressing, with fermentation and aging in stainless steel and concrete. In the heart of Coteaux Varois en Provence, Roseblood’s vineyards sprawl across hillsides at elevations of 1,100-1,600 feet. The vines thrive in a mild continental climate, where gentle autumns and springs alternate with occasionally torrid summers and colder winters compared to the rest of the region. The region’s red earth soils, complemented by pockets of flint and gravel, impart a harmonious blend of expression, freshness, balance and roundness to the wines.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Château d’Estoublon is one of the most remarkable estates in France, and has launched with Roseblood d’Estoublon the most dynamic luxury rosé in the market. Roseblood embodies a history of excellence, a commitment to a special land in the French Provence countryside, and the vision of its extraordinary team of owners. Founded in 1489, Château d’Estoublon is, because of its olive oil (Best in the World 2022 and 2023), already one of the 93 members of the French committee of leading luxury brands, along with Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier and others.
In 2020, Jean-Guillaume Prats, formerly CEO of Cos d’Estournel in Bordeaux, CEO of Moet-Hennessy’s fine wine portfolio, and then CEO of Lafite-Rothschild, purchased the estate with several friends.
Jean-Guillaume’s partners, who are hands-on owners, are musician/model/global influencer Carla Bruni and her husband the former President of France Nicolas Sarkozy, and Stéphane Courbit, a French entrepreneur who owns among other businesses a group of leading 5 star hotels in France and the Ladurée macaron company. This dynamic ownership group has in the last several years purchased 340 hectares of vineyard to add to the extraordinary 300 hectares of primarily forest, olive groves, and gardens around the estate.
Roseblood is an utterly unique combination, a rosé so closely tied to a historic estate of agricultural as well as regionally cultural importance, infused with the passion of its surroundings and its owners, and emblematic of the Art of Living in Provence.
